Welcome to Litsy!

This fun, informational picture book expertly pairs poetry and science to explain how a cloud experiences the water cycle. Here�s an innovative story about the water cycle � told by a cloud! The cloud describes the process in lyrical prose, complemented by side commentary from a clever bird who fills in the science facts. First, the cloud soaks up moisture, gathering �steam from a cup of tea� and �vapors from salty seas.� Then, it becomes full and heavy: its �soggy edges bulge.� Finally, it BURSTS, creating a rainstorm, punctuated by thunder and lightning. Until, at last, it�s spent, �frizzled, drizzled, drained,� leaving only a rainbow. A companion to Kaboom! A Volcano Erupts, Kersplash! A Cloud Bursts is a perfect pick for both interactive science lessons and lively read-alouds!
